They use Fake Sand (Hydrated Silica) and Fossil Fuel Candles (Synthetic Wax) to give you 'grit' without nutrients. Some even use Liquid Plastic (Acrylates Copolymer) to suspend their fake beads.
The 2nd Ground Edge: We use real, upcycled coffee grounds. It's gritty, it's packed with caffeine and antioxidants, and it returns to the earth naturally. They scrub with lab waste. We scrub with nature.
I started 2nd Ground in a cramped Brooklyn kitchen after seeing the sheer volume of waste cafés produce every single day. We didn't build this on 'VC money' or marketing fluff. We built it on grit.
We upcycle coffee grounds that would otherwise rot in a landfill, turning them into high-end skincare. This is Modern Alchemy: taking what the world throws away and turning it into a high-performance ritual for your skin.
We take more out than we put in. Our entire upcycling process is designed to leave the planet better than we found it.
Every bar supports global reforestation efforts and ocean cleanup initiatives. We don't just sell soap; we fund recovery.
We never use palm oil or synthetic plastics. We use real upcycled coffee for exfoliation, not 'Fake Sand' (Hydrated Silica) or 'Liquid Plastic' (Acrylates Copolymer).
